Senator GARETH EVANS
—In the course of Question Time Senator Martin asked me a supplementary question in a tone of some indignation as to why the Australian Capital Territory Classification of Publications Ordinance, if it had been promulgated, had not been tabled in this place and similarly the regulations promulgated under the Customs Act relating to censorship. I informed her, and I have checked it, that the regulations and ordinance in question were approved by the Executive Council last week, Thursday, 31 May. I am also now able to inform the Liberal Party's answer to Ron Boswell that yesterday, Monday, 5 June, the ordinance and regulations in question were in fact tabled in the Senate.
